I'm seriously considering abandoning the 2* tier altogether outside of my DDQ team (ModHawk/MagNow/CStorm/OBW)

The rough math works out to be something like 7K ISO loss but you get a bunch of tokens, HP, and CP -- I'm definitely going to farm.

HP is the most tempting for me, still hard to get a steady stream of that

yup. I'm still about 4 to 10 covers away from maxing my roster of 2 star champions though; chances are this'll be a july/aug project
also i am so sad, so very sad inside

The moment I start hoarding my Legendary tokens and CP, I start getting an influx of them. Got 4 LTs and 116 CP, and it's killing me that I can't cash them in!

Also, you might want to consider hoarding all of your heroic tokens and only open standards so that you won't prematurely get a cover that you can't roster within 2 weeks.

also conserve event specific packs (eg coversquirrel, venom bomb) or do those disappear if you don't use yr tokens in time? also same q re the taco vaults.

No, those don't disappear. In fact it's worth saving your tacos until you have a bunch of them to maximize your chances of eventually getting some of the nicer rewards in a taco set.

the time sensitive event packs too don't disappear?

Nope, they just get shunted to the back end of your tokens list, but they're still there.

Some events have a vault, i.e. a finite selection of covers you have the chance to pull. Other events (usually for new character releases) are not vaults -- every pull is independent of every other pull. Vaults have an expiration timer, but that just means that it reverts to the non-vault format, at least until the event comes around again.

my buffed & champed lady thor this week, paired with model 40...getting to 1000 in the squirrel tourney was *easy*. gonna do it again in the gray suit one for the red cyclops.

Do you guys know why sometimes the versus has a bunch of v low level opponents to start and sometimes not?

Also what is the power called where every move your opponent makes turns into a 5-match like 7 in a row destroying your sure thing

I haven't cracked the code on the former yet; I usually get one round of scrubs before hitting real teams but every now and then, particularly if I start the PvP cycle late, I get dropped directly into it.

Re: the latter, that is the most aggravating thing

yeah i noticed that too. 95% of the time I will get the dummy CPU opponents, but once in a while you don't get them at all

any opinions on Kate Bishop, btw?

I think she looks super fun but I doubt I will ever get enough covers to make her playable; hell at this point I am despairing of maxing XFW, who I've had forever

just maxed my 19th 3 star, still don't have a 4 star with more than 8 covers.

based on the plays i've had with the covered character in the pve, she seems badass as hell

xp welcome to my life forx

Thinking of dropping one of these ****'s. Comments?

One cover: Drax, Howard, Antman, Starlord
Three covers: Devil Dino
Five covers: Invisible Woman

or

*** Bullseye (3-2-1)

IW sucks but I'd keep her just for the invisibility

tempted to say drax or starlord, because a) fuck em and b) it is officially impossible to fucking cover a four star in june 2016

I've been playing this game for several years and the closest I have is XFW at 4/4/4

i thought u guys had like all maxxed 4 star covers lol. so are the 4 star chars still valuable despite being so difficult to max out?

Also what is the power called where every move your opponent makes turns into a 5-match like 7 in a row destroying your sure thing

Cascade from hell?

so are the 4 star chars still valuable despite being so difficult to max out?

Absolutely! I mean, it obviously takes time and patience to get them into a usable state, but once you do, certain things become easier.

I'd go with one of the one-cover guys, either Howard or Drax. Leaning towards Drax because Howard is going to be harder to re-roster if the occasion arises. (FYI Star-Lord isn't horrible, and Ant-Man can be a lot of fun.)

I have 5 4*s with 13 covers (Star-Lord, IMHB, Fury, XFW, XFDP, the last three of which are already championed), 4 at 12 covers, 4 at 11, and 2 at 10. I credit this collection with being in a good alliance and having no life.

goddamn

IW nets an easy leg token when she appears in the 4*DDQ. 4*DDQ is the main reason I keep most 4*s in my roster.
Devil Dino and Howard have covers and events too rare to bother with. I sold mine.

do starlord, antman, drax appear more regularly?

They presumably will. DD and Howard have each only appeared once in two completed cycles (Anniversary Week for DD in the first cycle of DDQ4, and Duck Season in the second cycle).

Oh, Star Lord and Ant-Man have each appeared in both previous cycles (no reason to expect them not to get their own this cycle), and I'm expecting Drax to have his this cycle.

Keep hope alive, DJP - I finally finished covering my XFW only a month ago. BELIEVE
(or spend 120 CP)

166d Vision today, will champ his this afternoon.

I have two champed 4 stars, wolvie xforce & lady thor. Then I have a couple at 11 covers, Jean Gray & Starlord, and a couple at 10, wolvie X23 & Electra. 9 for Carnage and Miles Morales I think, maybe another. I was in a power alliance for a while but I got tired of the pressure of having to play to 800 in every PVP and am ILX-Static to be done with that.

I'm still going on champing the remaining 3 stars though. After finishing Vision today I'll go for Daredevil next. Then I have Beast, Bullseye, Quicksilver, and Spidey left (except for Sentry which I sold at 166 and will never take back). Spidey's by far the worst of those.

Euler, you'll have fun with Vision while he's bugged! Even when he's not bugged, I like him with IF and Cage.

BTW: KK/Vision/IM40 in this PVE is great against non-Carnage nodes.

Got the 1000 Cyclops in the pvp just now. Two 1000s in a row!

i knew i wasn't going to get that 1000 when i got around 700 last night and got knocked back to 450 WHILE IN A MATCH gdi

My alliance has a mystery whale who's been spending so much that we've been getting multiple 7CPs per day.

damn that's like hundreds of dollars a day??

maybe they're all whales

We're definitely not all whales! And the hundreds of CP we've gotten only started this week, but some of us are checking our credit card accts to make sure we haven't been hacked.

I got knocked back down to 500 from 1000 but I had my prize already. Still top 100 too lol

How do you request team-ups in the Alliance? I think I was able to request once like a month ago and never since. Is it on a timer?

iirc if you already have 20 team-ups you can't request more. Isn't the screen just the normal team-up choosing screen?

On the screen where you equip the team-ups, there's a button on the team-up popup that lets you request them. xp

oh ok cool bc i definitely don't have 20 - i have like 2

after that fucking pvp clusterfuck i have like 2 non-BW teamups

i routinely toss high level teamups to whoever asks in our alliance

If I give somebody a teamup, I don't lose anything, right? I just can't give away that same character again for a time?

right

so i've built up enough iso to champion another 2 star. sadly i'm one red cover short of championing human torch who i love to use and for whom i have like seven green and black covers sitting around. so between 2 star wolverine and 2 star magneto - magneto is the better choice it seems like?

yep

yessir

i have a couple of 4*s about to expire - Bucky Barnes and SpiderGwen. guess i'll chuck a 1 or 2* to make space, unless someone here tells me they are so garbage as to not be worth the slot

i was being a good boyfriend last night so i didn't place top 100 in hulk, meaning i didn't get witch cover 13, but i already leveled her to 153 in prep for my 13th (pvp reward) and 14th (daily reward) covers to champ her... so now i have a character who i just put a shitload of iso into that i can't immediately champ :(

and the worst part is i can't even tell my gf just how good of a bf i was being by ignoring mpq because it will make me sound worse

SHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW LUCKY SHE IS, YOU GUYS, IM TALKIN BOUT A CHAMPED SCARLET WITCH HERE
